Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"When I was discussing overseas box office sharing with Golden Harvest, I made a suggestion."

Seeing Fang Yihua's hesitant look, Lin Daoqiu planned to repeat his old trick and threw her a potion.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Fang Yihua immediately raised her head, with a questioning look in her eyes. It seemed that she wanted to know what suggestions Lin Daoqiu made at that time.

"I told Mr. He at that time that based on the box office revenue, I would only need 5% of the total revenue for 10 million, 15% for 50 million, and 30% for 100 million."

If he didn't have great confidence in himself, Lin Daoqiu would not have made this suggestion to the other party.

At that time, He Guanchang didn't think much about it. After all, he didn't think the movie "Master Qian" could exceed 100 million yuan, so he signed the contract quickly.

Now this opinion has come to Fang Yihua's side again. It is obvious that her ideas are almost the same as those of He Guanchang.

It is not easy to reach a box office of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the current exchange rate of 4.8 Hong Kong dollars to one US dollar, "Master Qian" will have to get more than 20 million US dollars at the overseas box office, but that is basically impossible.

.

"Mr. Lin plans to sign the same contract here?"

Fang Yihua heard the implication of Lin Daoqiu's words. I'm afraid he was planning to take a gamble with himself, betting that his new movie's overseas box office would exceed 20 million US dollars.

And what surprised Fang Yihua was that she didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to be so confident that both of her films could earn over 100 million Hong Kong dollars in box office overseas.

"I will share 40% of the local revenue in Xiangjiang, and the overseas box office revenue will be signed as I just said. If Ms. Fang agrees, we can sign the contract now."

Originally, Fang Yihua was still entangled in the share of the Hong Kong box office at the beginning, but now it seems that she would rather split it 50-50 with Lin Daoqiu than give him 10% of the overseas share.

Because after deducting operating expenses and other expenses, if the box office revenue is 100 million Hong Kong dollars overseas, Shaw Brothers can probably get 40 million, and one achievement is 4 million.

But if it were the local box office in Xiangjiang, it would only exceed 10 million at most. This is already the limit of Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

After all this calculation, the overseas box office is the big one. If the box office can really exceed 100 million by then, Lin Daoqiu will receive more than 10 million in dividends.

But the premise is that his movie can earn over 100 million in overseas box office revenue. Otherwise, Lin Daoqiu will just wait to get the 15% share.

"Okay, I promise you, Xiangjiang will give you 40%, and overseas will sign according to what you said." Once Fang Yihua made up his mind, he became very happy to make the decision.

Soon, the contract was drawn up, and Lin Daoqiu and Fang Yihua both signed their names.

In addition to the movie contract, there was also Liu Songren's termination contract. This time, Fang Yihua did not embarrass Lin Daoqiu. She accepted the 500,000 termination fee.

"Thank you, Miss Fang." After finishing the contract matter, Lin Daoqiu planned to pick up Liu Songren back to Li's home immediately.

"Now that the contract has been signed, I wonder when Mr. Lin plans to start the show?"

This is what Fang Yihua is most concerned about now, and she also wants to discuss with Lin Daoqiu who should be used as actors for the new play.

"Don't worry, Miss Fang. Now that I have signed the contract, I will not go back on my word. As for the new drama, I will have to wait until I finish filming Li's second TV drama before we can start preparations."

Fang Yihua frowned immediately after hearing this. Although Lin Daoqiu did not deliberately delay, it seemed that he would have to wait at least a few months, which made Fang Yihua not very happy.

"If Mr. Lin really likes filming TV series so much, you might as well consider TVB. I can give you the most lenient terms in the contract and give you the greatest rights when filming TV series."

"Thank you Miss Fang for your kindness. Now I just want to concentrate on filming those three movies, and I won't consider other things for the time being." Lin Daoqiu directly rejected Fang Yihua's sudden offer of an olive branch without even thinking about it.

This time Fang Yihua did not get angry because she felt that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future and there was no need to rush.

………………

"Click..."

The first few episodes of "Chu Liuxiang" are being filmed in a studio at the Clear Water Bay Studio. Liu Songren, who plays Hu Tiehua, is in a bad state today.

Liu Songren usually devotes himself wholeheartedly to filming, but today he was obviously a little absent-minded, and it was rare that he clicked several times in a row.

Even Wang Tianlin saw that something was wrong with Liu Songren. After he shouted "Ka", he asked Li Tiansheng to ask Liu Songren what was going on.

"Aren, what's wrong with you today? Did you encounter any problems?" Li Tiansheng called Liu Songren aside, trying to figure out what happened to Liu Songren.

"No, maybe it's because I slept too late last night and didn't memorize the lines well. Let me rest for ten minutes and I'll hurry up and memorize the lines."

Although Liu Songren said this, he was always thinking about whether Lin Daoqiu could convince Fang Yihua and what would happen next. If he thought too much, he would inevitably get distracted during filming.

Li Tiansheng knew at a glance that Liu Songren was not telling the truth, but he did not ask the other party why.

"Okay, let's take a ten-minute break." Li Tiansheng agreed to Liu Songren's request, then turned around and told everyone to take a ten-minute break.

Patting his head, Liu Songren wanted to quickly throw away all the distracting thoughts in his mind, but it was obviously not an easy task to do so.

He even began to regret that he should not have hinted to Lin Daoqiu at that time. If he could not convince Fang Yihua and let the other party know that he wanted to switch gears, it would really be a disaster.

"Brother Ren, there seems to be something wrong today." Zhao Yazhi whispered to Zheng Shaoqiu.

Zheng Shaoqiu also felt it, but he didn't know what was wrong with Liu Songren.

"Maybe it's because I've been too tired from filming recently. It should be fine if I take a break." Zheng Shaoqiu didn't want to speculate. After all, Liu Songren is a very capable actor, which is recognized by the TV station.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't forced Fang Yihua to use an all-star lineup this time, he might not have given him a supporting role.

They had guest-starred in each other's TV series before, but Zheng Shaoqiu heard that Liu Songren was not happy about stealing his limelight when he guest-starred in "Lu Xiaofeng", and had complained to him privately.

But these are all hearsay, and only Liu Songren himself knows the truth of the matter, but Zheng Shaoqiu feels that he should not be such a petty person.

Just after the break, just as everyone was preparing to get back into shooting, an unexpected guest arrived, disrupting their plans.

"Why are you here, Mr. Lin?"

Li Tiansheng did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would walk in from the outside so swaggeringly, and following him was Fang Yihua's close confidant Shi Wenyan.

As soon as Liu Songren saw Lin Daoqiu and Shi Wenyan appearing together, he realized that his worries could finally be settled.
